Just be aware that other cheeses are not going to give you the same quest dip that this recipe is trying to replicate. Tex Mex queso is built on processed cheese.
Yes, often Kraft cheese slices are described as American cheese in recipes. You could use the Kraft slices or use a regular cheddar to your liking (if unsure, start with a medium strong one). Or use Gruyere as in the French onion variation. Last, if you can get Mexican cheeses where you are, see this article and its descriptions of them. Choose one to taste, and for melting ability. https://quesada.ca/a-brief-guide-to-mexican-cheeses/
